CRAZY!!...AMERICAN REACTS TO BRITISH FORCES EXCHANGE FIRE IN AFGHANISTAN!
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features an American reactor observing raw combat footage from the UK's involvement in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014, capturing the intense chaos of live fire exercises involving British forces. The narrator provides a running commentary on various weapons systems seen in action, noting that many modern firearms appear to have little to no recoil compared to older models, while also identifying specific equipment such as RPGs, machine guns, and Javelin anti-tank missiles. Throughout the clip, there is a distinct focus on the coordination required among soldiers who must operate seamlessly without anyone attempting to act like an individual hero or "Rambo," emphasizing instead that survival depends entirely on disciplined teamwork and clear communication under extreme pressure.
The footage depicts harrowing moments where troops are constantly exposed to enemy fire from tree lines and across rivers, forcing them to take cover in trenches and move tactically while managing ammunition supplies and dealing with weapon jams. A significant portion of the reaction involves witnessing an air strike sequence, which requires a formal request and approval before aircraft arrive to drop ordnance on targets identified by ground units. The reactor expresses deep concern for the mental health impact such environments have on soldiers, acknowledging that constant exposure to explosions, gunfire, and shouting can easily trigger PTSD symptoms in anyone not specifically trained for these conditions over years of service.
Despite the grim reality of war zones filled with mud, debris, and life-threatening situations, moments of levity emerge through banter about military terminology, jokes regarding cowboy attire versus ranch dressing, and admiration for soldiers who maintain focus while smoking cigarettes or dealing with equipment failures like jamming weapons. The reactor repeatedly praises one particular soldier named Rose Kemp as a legendary figure comparable to Michael Jordan in this context due to his ability to dodge incoming fire without training initially intended for content creation purposes. Ultimately, the video serves as both an educational look at modern infantry tactics and a somber reminder of the immense courage required by veterans who endure daily battles against overwhelming odds while often lacking adequate support systems upon returning home.

Hey, you got to understand the air
strike got to be,
you got to ask for it. It has to be
granted and they got to come. They
coming from somewhere probably off the
the ocean.
That's a long flight. You got to wait
like five minutes for it.
Get that man some water. Where's your

>> [ __ ]
go back. Go back. Now, this is the
elitist live fire that this I love this.
If I could like go to some type of open
field and somebody's like, "Oh, you want
to fire the javelin?"
100%. Multiple times if you don't mind.
You're a [ __ ]
>> Does it go backwards first then forward?
Look, look at the back.
>> Oh, no. That's No, it does not.
That sound like the 4th of July in
Chicago, don't it?
>> My bad. I know this is a serious video.
Stuff has happened in this video, but
that jave that javelin just brought me
so much joy. And it was it's going to do
that every time for me.
THAT'S COMING
OVER.
NO, they don't got no javelins in
Chicago. They got some of this other
stuff though for sure.
>> BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL.
THERE IT IS.
Good job.
>> You going to do it again?
>> Yeah.
Damn. [laughter]
Dang. What's that?
Calm down, man. Calm down.
Bring it from the top, though. Hold on.
That's the reaper.
What was spamming a with that?
Spam an X.
That javelin is way more than 20k.
Probably upwards of 100.
I don't want to Google it for obvious
reason.
This was when was this? This was
2001 through 2014. Combat footage from
the UK AF war 2001 2014.
So anytime between then
from the quality of the cameras might be
like 2010ish.
I
That's cool. But what I don't How many
rounds is that?
What y'all think that is? 762 or 223
rounds they using.
>> We seen this already. They played this
at the beginning.
>> We will not watch it again. There we go.
>> Here we go.
He's got room there.
>> GO.
[applause]
We seen this too.
They might be doing a recap.
Sorry headphone users. Uh
Damn, [clears throat]
that was up top. That was them that JUST
DID THAT.
>> [screaming]
[screaming]
>> BRO, THIS WOULD BE so overwhelming if
you're not trained and you out there
just listening. of this
obviously you wouldn't be out here and
this is why I give Rose
Kimp so much like
Rose Kemp was out here
no training
for the for the content.
Do you hear me?
Rose Kemp was out here with them
dodging stuff. Stuff was flying past his
head.
Rose Kemp will forever be the goat.
The Michael Jordan of THIS
Is he smoking a cigarette?
I guess it don't get no more high stakes
than this. This is the appropriate time
to get that stress and shoot. Pull that.
You know what I'M SAYING?
WHAT IS THAT? WAS THAT A BULLET?
This is the all I can think about is
people with PTSD right now.
I I completely understand it. If this is
what you was doing on a daily basis with
this much fire and commotion going on
around you, any little sound that sound
remotely
like this, I get it. I get it. We need
to stand by y'all. We need to do better.
Is it these damn American right here?
>> What made y'all say they American?
>> Oh, that's an Oh, yeah. Okay, that's an
American helmet. Okay, got it.
Oh, okay. And the guns are American.
Okay. Okay.
Damn, boy. Y'all really spotting this on
the
I see it now that you said it. YES.
I can't believe this dude. When I think
of somebody in the army, this is
literally what I think of. Bro is really
out here smoking like actively puffing
while doing this.
[applause]
Oh, that's Oh, wait a minute. It's just
cold out here.
>> [cheering]
>> This is a this is now this got to be a
like if y'all say that dude is American,
this is have to be a joint effort cuz I
hear
I can hear some UK accents.
What battle was this?
What's good? What's up, BUDDY?
What are they aiming at?
Cuz it's definitely coming back to them.
But they got this wall built.
Put the camera through a hole. Let us
see.
The Hulk must be on the other side. THIS
IS
how long has this been? This has been
literally Let's go back. Let's see.
Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's
see. Right here. 2456.
It's five minutes straight of this.
No loop, no nothing. Just five minutes.
What is this that they're in called
again?
It looks a little more extravagant than
what we used to seeing, but like this is
like what this is a trench.
This don't even seem real. I know it's
real. I don't want to disrespect nobody,
but this is insane.
You know what type of training you have
to have to stay focused in this much
is going on around you.
And what are they aiming at?
Oh, they got grenades. These are grenade
launchers,
bro. That was literally 6 minutes
straight.
>> I don't know.
>> That's American accent.
Hey, move aside.
